We have analyzed the photoresponse of solar blind AlGaN Schottky barrier photodiodes below the alloy band gap energy, in the 3.5-4.5 eV range, and we show that it is dominated by internal photoemission. The n-type Schottky barrier height is shown to increa ...
We study wurtzite GaN/AIN quantum dots (QDs) by time-resolved photoluminescence. The properties of nitride based nano-objects are significantly affected by strong built-in electric fields existing in this crystalline phase. These fields induce a spatial se ...
A large number of characterization tools for semiconductor based heterostructures are available nowadays. Most of these techniques deliver high temporal resolution (down to hundreds of femtoseconds) or good spatial resolution (down to sub nanometer resolut ...
The kinetic competition between electron-hole recombination and water oxidation is a key consideration for the development of efficient photoanodes for solar driven water splitting. In this study, we employed three complementary techniques, transient absor ...
PSI is interested in developing an X-FEL as a companion radiation source to the existing Swiss Light Source. In order to achieve radiation wavelengths as low as 1 Å, the X-FEL requires excellent electron beam quality and high beam energy. The energy requir ...
We have simulated short channel carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with asymmetric source and drain contacts using a Coupled mode space approach within the non-equilibrium Green's function framework. The simulated results show that the asymmetric con ...
Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide WSe2 has recently attracted a lot of attention because it is a 2D semiconductor with a direct band gap. Due to low doping levels, it is intrinsic and shows ambipolar transport. This opens up the possibility to r ...
We employ grazing-incidence femtosecond x-ray diffraction to characterize the coherent, femtosecond laser-induced lattice motion of a bismuth crystal as a function of depth from the surface with a temporal resolution of 193 +/- 8 fs. The data show direct c ...
We propose a model for leakage currents in Schottky contacts on InAlN/GaN heterostructures based on two distinct tunneling mechanisms. Our modeling relies on structural parameters, in particular, InAlN dielectric constant, interface polarization charges an ...
A sustainable route to store the energy provided by the Sun, is to directly convert sunlight into molecular hydrogen using a semiconductor performing water photolysis. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is promising for this application due to its ample abundance, chemica ...
